Children Love to Draw Nutcrackers

Over the years, the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum has worked with different schools that express an interest in featuring nutcrackers as an art activity. It's a great way to cultivate an interest in a young artist, or even a new nutcracker collector in the making. Kids are fascinated with the many styles and kinds of nutcrackers shown in the museum with over 7000 nutcrackers to delight the everyone.

Kids love a Nutcracker Hunt!

The Nutcracker Lady has created several variations of "Nutcracker Hunts" for beginning readers all the way through adults. Armed with a list of nutcrackers, a clipboard and a pencil, folks will roam about the museum hunting for those named on their sheet.

Do a Nutcracker Show-n-tell

Either before or after the kids have watched the short 14 minute video on the history of Nutcrackers, you can encourage your students to bring a nutcracker they own and tell the class about it.
